This tells me nothing. Drop "This option indicate this" and rephrase
everything to actually describe this property. Why would the address
differ on given, specific SoC? It looks like you just miss compatibles.
Anyway this needs much more explanation so we can judge whether it fits DT.

Hi Krzysztof,

I will add following description about "suspend-address", please review.

Thanks.


The "suspend-address" is a ACPI S3 (Suspend To RAM) firmware entry

Why do we add properties for ACPI? This does not seem right.


1.  The suspend-address value was dependent on specific platform
      firmware code and it tends to be confiurable. if it is a fixed value
      that seems not friendly or the ACPI S3 will not work.

2. the PM driver need according to it to indicate that current SoC
     whether support ACPI S3, because some Loongson-2 SoC doesn't support

For this you have dedicated compatibles. Which points to the fact that
you missed them here.


Sorry, I may not have explained it clearly before. In fact, this is a
consideration for the future, and currently all SoC supports s3.
Add corresponding compatibles as needed in the future.


     ACPI S3 but support other ACPI mode, so the PM driver need has a
     check. if no this check and other ACPI mode will not work.

Sure, but it is not really relevant to the bindings... or rather: should
not be relevant. Bindings are for hardware or in this case also for
firmware, but not for driver.

okay, I got it.



Base on the above two points, this property was necessary.

I did not object in my last response...


Yes, but I misunderstood your meaning before.


Using this property "suspend-address" can make the firmware entry
address configurable, and then the kernel can also indicate whether
the current SoC supports S3

In addition, from kernel code perspective, the property
"suspend-address" was to initialize "loongarch_suspend_addr"

Again, how does it matter what kernel does?


okay, I got it.



S3 call flow:
enter_state -> loongson_suspend_enter -> bios's loongarch_suspend_addr

SYM_FUNC_START(loongson_suspend_enter)
          SETUP_SLEEP
          bl              __flush_cache_all

          /* Pass RA and SP to BIOS */
          addi.d          a1, sp, 0
          la.pcrel        a0, loongson_wakeup_start
          la.pcrel        t0, loongarch_suspend_addr
          ld.d            t0, t0, 0
          jirl            a0, t0, 0 /* Call BIOS's STR sleep routine */


Please
reword to skip ACPI stuff, e.g. deep sleep states (Suspend to RAM).


Sorry, I don't got your point.

You have DT platform, so why do you use it with ACPI in the first place?
If you have ACPI, then please drop all this and make your life easier.


okay, I got it, I will reword to skip ACPI stuff in bindings for "suspend-address" property description.


If this is booted without ACPI, which would justify DT, drop the
references to ACPI. I gave you example what to use instead. If you don't
like it, no problem, reword in different way.

okay, I got it.





address which was jumped from kernel and it's value was dependent on
specific platform firmware code.

"entry address which was jumped" <- the address cannot jump. Please
explain who is jumping here - boot CPU? each suspended CPU? I guess the
first as CPUs are offlined, right?

The boot CPU was jumping to firmware and finish remaining process in
firmware that was what ACPI S3 required and other CPUs (No-boot CPU)
have been offline before entering firmware.

Then fix the description.

okay, I got it.




In addition, the PM driver need
according to it to indicate that current SoC whether support ACPI S3.

Skip references to driver.


Sorry, I don't got your point.  Could you elaborate on it?

If you change driver, you change bindings? No.

Bindings are for hardware, not for driver. Whatever your driver is doing
usually does not matter for the bindings and should not be included.


okay, I got it. I will skip references to driver in bindings for "suspend-address" property description.

Thanks.
